I’m so baffled I had to ask – why this behaviour?
cd /var/www/html
tar czf ~/package.tgz admin/* api/* mobile/*
I do this, and the resulting package doesn’t include a couple of hidden files – api/.htaccess and admin/.htaccess. However…
cd /var/www/html
tar czf ~/package.tgz *
This time the hidden .htaccess files are there.
Does anybody have enlightenment to offer as to why?
Dang as soon as you said globbing I realized what had happened but didn’t see it right away either
